Background. The leading position in the structure of the pathology of the psyche today is convincingly held by depressive disorders. In recent years, the number of publications showing a combination of the frequency of depression and psychosocial maladaptation, which acts both as a derivative in the clinic of depressive disorders and as an independent phenomenon that provokes and aggravates their course, has increased. Objective – to study the correlation of the structure and severity of the manifestations of macrosocial maladaptation and anxiety-depressive symptoms in women with depressive disorders of various genesis, in order to further determine the targeted points for differentiated psychosocial rehabilitation of this patient population. Materials and methods. 252 women with a diagnosis of depressive disorder were examined: 94 women with depressive disorder of psychogenic genesis (F43.21), 83 women with endogenous depression, (F32.0, F32.1, F32.2, F32.3, F33.0, F33. 1, F33.2, F33.3, F31.3, F31.4, F31.5) and 75 women with depressive disorder of organic genesis (F06.3). According to the results of assessing the degree of macrosocial maladaptation, two groups were distinguished: women without signs of maladaptation were assigned to the first group (n=48); the second group (n=204) consisted women with identified signs of maladaptation. We used such research methods: clinical-psychopathological, psychodiagnostic, statistical. Results. The regularities between the genesis of depression and the severity of signs of macrosocial maladaptation and anxiety are established and described. Macrosocial maladaptation of various severity occurs in the vast majority of patients with depression of any genesis. The severity and variability of pathological anxiety is the lowest in women with psychogenic depression with no or mild macrosocial disadaptation, and high in severe maladaptation, meanwhile in patients with endogenous depression the severity of anxiety is highest with mild maladaptation and low with severe macrosocial maladaptation. Conclusions. The severity of macrosocial maladaptation does not demonstrate a direct association with the severity of depressive phenomena and a clear comparability with the genesis of depressive disorder. Anxiety is less dependent on the genesis of depression, and is more determined by the degree of maladaptation. Received data should be taken into account when developing diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation measures for women with depressive disorders.
